AN ATHENS HISTORY MINUTE

An "after" photograph of the Holman Building from 1914, completed and part of a busy Clayton Street. The building began its life as offices, then served as a hotel before converting back into an office building. The original Social Security office for Athens opened on the ground floor in 1937, and it later served as the home of C&S Bank for many years.
